Subject: Dew!
There's a few lulls but all in all this is one of the stronger shows from '95. I was there but listening from the lot, my high point was sitting back with friends on some dusty knoll listening to a really epic Morning Dew as the sun got low over the desert after a long day of heat.

Things start strong with a tight and upbeat Half Step, and then The Race is On delights everyone. Truckin is great, the post-space part of the second set kinda just shuffles along until it's time for Morning Dew - one of the best versions of this song I know of from the latter years. I'm not claiming perfection or staying this judgment is based on exhaustive research, but give that Morning Dew a listen folks.

Waiting for the boards to surface - funny not to have them because I remember the back in those days Vegas soundboards had surfaced pretty quickly in earlier years.

These shows and Seattle and Portland to follow were my last times seeing the Dead - not a bad note to go out on.

I was at one of the three shows. Dave Matthews opened. I'm alomst sure it was this one based on the song list and what I remember

Absolutely one of the better parties that the band put on in it's last couple of years. This recording is worth it for the thunderous Trucking into Drums combination. How intensely heavy those drummers can pound their guts out. Very nice Lucy in the Sky as well.

Preakness day but I thought no way. My friend Stuart was cracking me up during this song. Pretending to ride a horse. Everything else was just gravy, it was a grand old time with a grand old band 95 and all. Wish I could find a board but this will work for me.

Notes

Source: Set 1: Tapers section- A:AKG 460's>DAT
Set 2: Audience(FOB directly in front of soundboard):Schoeps MK-4's>Schoeps
Pre-amp>Denon80-P>DAT(48kHz)
Transfer: DAT>ZA2>Samplitude>CD-r (or shn).
Recorded by Dan Sisler, DATs via Kevin Hoffman, Transfer Chris Larson.

there is a sbe on the last track of disc 1 which shouldn't have any detrimental impact on the sound. there are also non-canonical headers on all tracks which should not affect the audio quality of these when burnt to disc, but will show up as an error on shntool under the wav heading - if this really bothers you, you can STRIP the wav's with shntool before burning to cdr - Chris Ladner.
